Visit Bend
Woke up on Saturday morning excited to see as many Bend brewery’s as possible. Headed into town to the visitor center to get some brewery passports to map out our day. For $5 we had an awesome way to track our travels and once it was all said and done head back to redeem our stamps for some free tasting glasses!
See More10 Barrel Brewing East Side Bend
Started the day at 10 Barrel - an awesome brewery with food and beers! Super nice bar and indoor/outdoor seating options!
See MoreBoss Rambler Beer Club
Headed right down the street to Boss Rambler where their speciality is SLUSHIES!! Sat outside underneath their misters and enjoyed a light froze slushy with some French fries from the food truck they have out back.
See MoreSunriver Brewing Co. - Galveston Pub
Walked another hundred yards to knock out brewery #3! Sunriver brewing also has great indoor/outdoor seating and great pub food to go along with it! If you get the chance to stop by, don’t pass up on the pretzel or nachos!
See MoreGoodLife Brewing Company
Had to walk a little further for this one but GoodLife brewery was an awesome little spot tucked away off the main drag. With good beer and a homey vibe it’s a great stop if you want to get off the beaten path!
See MoreCascade Lakes Pub on Reed Market
Cascade lakes was next on the tour and was a much needed stop indoors. In the heat of summer they have a large indoor bar with pool and other bar games. Solid beer with a full food menu to go along with it.
See MoreDeschutes Brewery Beer Garden
Right by the river, Deschutes Brewery Beer garden was an awesome, quieter stop along the way. The beer is served from a camper trailer next to their brewery with a few tents and tables to hang out at. They also have cornhole on the lawn that overlooks the river!
See MoreMonkless Belgian Ales Brasserie
Monkless is your classic German pub. With a view from over the river there isn’t a bad seat in the house. When you step in you’ll feel like you traveled back to Oktoberfest in Germany! The sausages and pretzel here are a must try!
See MoreUPP Liquids Pub, and Fermentations (of Immersion Brewing)
Immersion is an awesome little spot in a bank of brewery’s/restaurants just on the east side of the river, south of town. There’s lots of outdoor seating to create a cool communal vibe with adjacent restaurants. They also have a small indoor area where you can sit at a bar if it gets too warm outside.
See MoreCrux Fermentation Project
Final brewery stop of the day was Crux. Crux is undoubtedly my FAVORITE brewery in Bend. They have an insane layout with a massive backyard full of picnic benches, lawn games and food trucks! Anyone can find something they’re hankering with the wide selection of 4+ food trucks there at any time. There’s lawn games for all ages and if you’re a dog lover, you’ll love it here! Their beer is some of my favorite but rest assured if beer isn’t for you, they also have some great cocktails on tap!!
On this particular Saturday they had a live musician out front to top it all off!
See MoreThe Cross-Eyed Cricket Watering Hole
As if the rest of the breweries weren’t enough, the Cross Eyed Cricket is a cute little country bar on the north side of town! Stocked full of pool tables with a floor for dancing, it’s damn near impossible to have a bad time!
